Art Quilt Campus

(last updated November 29th, 2017)

Art Quilt Campus is an annual event organized by the author of this blog, Anna Hergert. 2016 marked the fifth consecutive year Art Quilt Campus was organized independently. Registration for 2018 for return participants is now underway. General registration will open up after January 15th, 2018.

In late July 2012, we started calling the event Art Quilt Campus when a small group of seven had the entire Emma Lake Campus to ourselves. After Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus closed in November 2012 an alternate venue was secured for one week. 12 participants gathered for five days at Shekinah Retreat Centre near Waldheim, SK. Please, scroll down on this page to find links to images from the first event.

2014 realized an unprecedented increase in interest, and it was decided to expand the event to two weeks. St. Peter’s Abbey in Muenster, SK east of Saskatoon, is where we now gather and grow our art quilt knowledge. Seasoned and beginner quilters alike are welcomed.

And in true Art Quilt Campus Fashion, here are links to the two weeks that took place in late August 2017:

And here is a walk down memory lane. “Art Quilt Campus I” was held at Shekinah (north of Saskatoon near Waldheim, SK in August 2013). One week of 12 motivated quilters came together in an idyllic setting far from all amenities:

By 2016 AQC became a “by invitation only” event, please email Anna directly and she will add you to the list for 2018. Previous participants have first right of refusal – but don’t give up hope. 2017 welcomed several “newbies” during both weeks.

Renate, Registration for week 2 opened in January. I always circulate the registration info with previous participants and those who expressed in interest via email throughout the year. Please send me a personal email if you have any questions.
